The difference with our list, or so I thought, was that it would contain only the best stuff because it was vetted by me, a tech columnist with 20 years of experience testing products.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After our baby arrived in the summer, I learned I was wrong.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It turns out there is no best baby gear, because what worked for other parents often didn\u2019t work for us. Even though I had picked a top-rated stroller, its wheels were inadequate for our neighborhood\u2019s pothole-riddled streets. The <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usa.philips.com\/c-p\/SCF358_00\/avent-fast-bottle-warmer\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">electronic bottle warmer<\/a> listed as a must-have by many Redditors was too slow at heating up milk for our vocal newborn. The <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/reviews\/snoo-smart-sleeper-what-to-know\/\" title=\"\">Snoo<\/a>, the $1,700 robotic bassinet with a cult following, did nothing to lull our little one to sleep.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Now past the sleepless nights of the newborn phase, my wife and I wound up with a well-rested, content child. What helped, in part, was pivoting to a different approach with baby gear, analyzing our particular problems as new parents and looking for ways to solve them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">My highs and lows with baby tech may not be every parent\u2019s experience. But the lessons I learned from my misadventures, from internet-controlled night lights to nanny cams, should be universally applicable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Here\u2019s what to know.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-1u37br4 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-4bd54323\">Knowledge triumphs over fancy gizmos, including Snoo<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When our daughter was first born, she snoozed effortlessly in a no-frills bassinet I bought from another parent through Facebook Marketplace. But when she turned about 3 months old, she began loudly protesting naps. That made me consider the Snoo, the chicly designed white bassinet that automatically sways and plays sounds to soothe a fussy baby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Among parents, the Snoo is a polarizing product not just because of its price ($1,700, or $160 a month for rental). Several of my friends with the privilege of owning one called the device a godsend that saved them from the brink of insanity. Others said their child hated it. I had read the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.happiestbaby.com\/products\/the-happiest-baby-book-paperback\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">book about soothing newborns<\/a> written by the Snoo\u2019s creator, Harvey Karp, so I wanted to give it a shot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Fortunately, a friend lent me a Snoo. I downloaded a companion app and paid a $20 subscription for access to some of its extra perks, including a rocking motion that mimicked the bumps and jostles of riding in a car.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">My baby was initially unfazed when we strapped her in. But when she started crying and the bassinet reacted by swaying and playing white noise, she cried even louder. After a few weeks of experimenting, we reverted to her old-school bassinet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A spokeswoman for Happiest Baby, the company behind Snoo, said it was ideal to acclimate babies to the product as soon as they were born because it simulates the movements and sounds a baby experiences inside a mother\u2019s womb. However, the company advertises Snoo as suitable for babies up to 6 months of age, and my daughter fit this criterion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The tech that eventually helped? E-books.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One late night, I downloaded a $14 <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.com\/books\/625085\/healthy-sleep-habits-happy-child-5th-edition-by-marc-weissbluth-md-author-of-your-fussy-baby\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">e-book by a pediatrician<\/a> about infant psychology and sleep. I began to understand why my 3-month-old was fighting sleep and how to anticipate when she would need a nap. We tried the book\u2019s methods, and within a few weeks my baby began napping regularly and sleeping through the night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Knowledge is more powerful \u2014 and cheaper to access \u2014 than a fancy bassinet.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-1u37br4 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-6afd886a\">The best tech helped parents with broken brains<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">My wife and I found the most useful baby tech to be smartphone apps that helped us process information in our sleep-deprived state. The free app <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/huckleberrycare.com\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Huckleberry<\/a>, a tool for parents to log bottle feedings, diaper changes and sleep durations for their babies, was crucial for my wife and me to communicate the baby\u2019s needs with each other when we took turns working shifts. It also provided useful data for our pediatrician.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Also helpful was the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/cdcs-milestone-tracker\/id1232718688\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s free Milestones app<\/a>, which shows a checklist of a child\u2019s expected developmental milestones at each age, such as learning to roll at 6 months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When she was about 7 months old, our daughter began to crawl. We could no longer take our eyes off her, so we shifted to consuming more parenting literature through a different medium: audiobooks.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-1u37br4 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-332943a0\">Single-task baby tech is unnecessary<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Lots of popular baby tech are gadgets that serve a single purpose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The $60 <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hatch.co\/rest-second-gen\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Hatch Rest<\/a>, a night light that plays white noise, is a product on many parents\u2019 lists of must-haves for helping babies sleep. The <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nanit.com\/products\/nanit-pro-camera-flex-stand\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">$250 Nanit Pro<\/a>, a webcam that can alert you to a baby\u2019s movements and cries, is another. So is the $50 <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usa.philips.com\/c-p\/SCF358_00\/avent-fast-bottle-warmer\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Philips Avent electronic bottle warmer<\/a>, which heats up a bottle of refrigerated milk with the press of a button in a few minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I received all of those products as gifts through our registry. Though I liked using them, I ultimately realized other products I already owned could accomplish the same tasks.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"css-1le37cb ez3869y0\">\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">The <strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Nanit webcam<\/strong> had an impressive set of features for monitoring our baby, including a tool that automatically detected what time I put her to bed and what time she woke up. But that feature required the camera to be mounted on a tall tripod against a wall to get a bird\u2019s-eye view <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/support.nanit.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/235605728-Crib-positioning-camera-placement\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">of the crib<\/a>, which was unfeasible with the layout of our bedroom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">We used the Nanit just like any webcam for periodically checking on the video feed of our child in her crib. That could also be done with any general-purpose security camera, like the $100 indoor <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/store.google.com\/category\/nest_cams?hl=en-US\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Nest Cam<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">Our baby slept better in pitch dark, so the <strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Hatch Rest\u2019s night light<\/strong>, the colors of which can be changed through a smartphone app, proved unhelpful. (Maybe when our daughter is older she will appreciate that the light can be set on a timer so it illuminates when it\u2019s time for her to wake up.) We used only the feature for playing white noise. When we traveled, we used a tablet or smartphone to play white noise in the hotel room, making a dedicated sound machine superfluous.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">The <strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Philips Avent bottle warmer<\/strong> initially seemed useful, but every caregiver for our daughter, including relatives, my wife, myself and now our nanny, stopped using it. We each independently realized that a metal coffee mug partly filled with hot water from the sink was faster.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This is not to say that any of the aforementioned products won\u2019t work well for another parent. But the problem with the premise of the best baby gear is that it requires any two infants to be alike, which is rarely the case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It\u2019s best to start with getting to know your baby before starting a list, rather than the other way around.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
